Ah Yu has liked tigers since he was sensible, when he was two years old, Ye Yunsheng bought a cloth tiger from a doll stall on the street, although the word "Wang" on his forehead was indeed ugly, but Ah Yu was very happy, and even had to hold it when he was sleeping. By now, the cloth tiger was so dirty that it couldn't be washed, and its color had fallen off badly.

Ye Yunsheng passed by a puppet stall, spent 20 yuan, and bought a rag tiger that was bigger than his family and the word "king" was more upright, thinking that Ah Yu would be very happy.

Just thinking about it like this, his depressed heart was also relieved a little.

With the cloth tiger in hand, he came to Zhao's mansion and heard the housekeeper say that Ah Yu and Zhao Gongzi were kidnapped by thieves and asked for a box of gold to ransom them.

He had lived a poor and ordinary life for seven years, how could he have imagined that someone would kidnap his daughter?

It was like a very funny joke, exaggerated and unreal, he didn't even feel anger and nervousness, just asked, "They asked for money, why did they take my family Ah Yu away?"

The housekeeper has followed Zhao Yuanwai for decades, and he watched Zhao Yu grow up little by little, how can he not be angry when he heard this, so he said coldly: "The head of the family has asked the account room to prepare gold and hand it over to the thief, and the daughter of the gentleman will be sent back with the son, don't worry." If Mr. hadn't left today, how could those thieves succeed if he wanted to rely on his skills?"

Ye Yunsheng knew that he was speechless, and he didn't care about the butler's sarcasm, bowed his head to make amends, and left the Zhao Mansion.

Go back and tell his wife that Ah Yu was kidnapped by gangsters, so that his wife will be stimulated again? Ye Yunsheng would not choose this way, he didn't know what to do for a while, and walked blindly on the street.

Wait for Zhao Yuan to send the money, and then they put Ah Yu back?

He was afraid of an accident, and thought in his heart whether Ah Yu would be beaten, a little girl, how much hardship would he have to suffer? Unconsciously sweating his clothes, he realized that he was really a fool, could it be that Ye Yunsheng was just an ordinary noodle seller, and could only wait for God's help? Not to mention that those thieves would not be the best masters of the rivers and lakes like Jiujing, even if it was, he couldn't fight for his daughter?

You have to find these people first, know where they come from and where they will be.

The well-informed and small means of the Ning family are one of them, but unfortunately there is a Ning Cangsheng in Chang'an City.

If it weren't for his daughter, he would never have entered the threshold of the Ning family.

The Ning family has always been low-key, Ning Cangsheng settled in Chang'an, did not enter the city, only in a secluded house in the west of the city. This courtyard occupies less than half of the Fang Mansion, the wall is not high, that is, ordinary people can climb in, the blue-gray wall, the green bamboo in the courtyard is dragging with the wind, and there is no doorkeeper, knocking on the door and waiting for a long time, only to see an old man open the door, look at him with cloudy eyes, and calmly let him in.

The grass and wild flowers in the courtyard, the gravel path, no one sitting or walking around, is as lonely as an empty house.

But Ye Yunsheng knew the depth of the Ning family, even if thirty or forty people with high skills broke in, he didn't want to go out completely.

The old man put his hands behind his back, and while leading the way, he asked hoarsely and in a low voice: "Mr. Ye will be in the future for a long time, there must be something important, unfortunately the head of the family is not there, but the lady is the same, please sit for a while, and the old man will call the lady to come and see him." ”

Ye Yunsheng sighed in his heart, with a hint of shame on his face, and said to the old man: "I'm tired of my seniors." ”

The old man only shook his head and let Ye Yunsheng into the front hall.

After sitting for a while, Ye Yunsheng was anxious again, and couldn't help but secretly wonder, why didn't anyone come to serve tea? After the thought turned, he saw a woman in green clothes coming forward from the door, except for a white butterfly hairpin on her head, there were no other accessories, which looked simple and natural. This woman is about thirty years old, her face is white, her appearance is very attractive, especially a pair of eyes are full of energy, and she is quite transparent when she looks at people. Although there is a trace of fine lines at the corners of her eyes, it is like a lake wave blown by the wind, which can ripple the good feeling in a man's heart, and she wants to take care of her carefully.

She walked in slowly, holding a green jade tea bowl in both hands, placing it on the table next to Ye Yunsheng, and asked him in a warm voice: "Farewell to the years, how are you doing lately?"

Ye Yunsheng smiled bitterly and said, "Why do you ask knowingly. I thought it was your sister at home, but I didn't want you to be there. ”

"I just came back to visit Jiayan, but my sister is already married, and I haven't seen her for a year. ”

Ye Yunsheng didn't know how to speak, but the woman in Tsing Yi thought about it and said, "You should know that our Ning family can't interfere in Fang Zimo's matter no matter what. Since his aunt entered the palace, Jia Yan has been careful not to interact with officialdom and only concentrate on the rivers and lakes. This time, Wei Xian mobilized the whole city to arrest quickly, and the city defense army assembled, and he came forward at this time, but there was a slight difference, and he would put his aunt in dire straits. ”

"I understand that this time I came for the little girl Ah Yu...... I don't know where the bandits came from, but they had the courage to go to Zhao Yuanwaifu and kidnap Zhao Gongzi, and the little girl was also there at the time and was taken away. ”

"Money?"

"A box of gold. ”

"Zhao Yuanwai can get the money, but he is afraid of everything...... You wait for me for a moment. ”

The woman in Tsing Yi called out, and in just a few blinks, a young man ran in, and when she saw Ye Yunsheng, she actually made a big salute, and said respectfully: "Brother Ye, Xiaosi is fortunate to see you again, I wish you good health!"

When Ye Yunsheng saw the visitor, he stood up with great joy, stepped forward to hold his hands, and said, "Now that you are so tall, have you become a family?" Why didn't you stay in Jiangning Mansion and come to Chang'an?"

The fourth child is about twenty years old, handsome, his face is full of childishness, and he also held Ye Yunsheng's hand and said: "I haven't found the lady yet, the ancestor asked me to come to the third master to see the world, and I happened to come here with the eldest mother." ”

The woman in Tsing Yi said with a smile: "Xiao Si followed you to break through with the sword and the rain, and the ancestor valued him, and he cultivated him for ten years, and now let him help his father take care of Chang'an's affairs." ”

She explained the situation of the Zhao Mansion to Xiao Si, and after Xiao Si heard it, he already raised his eyebrows and said: "It's not difficult to find these people, since they want to collect a ransom, they won't be too far away from the city." ”

Ye Yunsheng asked, "Why not in the city?"

Xiao Si said: "Although the city catches fast today are all gathered in Fangfu, but the city defense army has been assembled outside the city, if these people stay in the city, they have to watch the two children, it is inconvenient to walk, in case there is chaos in the city, it is easy to be discovered, the best choice is to go out of the city, find a place to hide outside, safe and not easy to expose their identity." ”

Ye Yunsheng asked again: "There are so many places outside the city, how to find them?"

Xiao Si had already thought about it, and opened his mouth to say: "These people will not act until they are not in the city today, they must be weak people, as long as they find a place where no one can hide within ten miles outside the city, it will not be difficult to find their traces, and I will arrange for people to find them." After Xiao Si finished speaking, he saw that Ye Yunsheng had no more questions, so he saluted and left.

The Ning family's three rooms have been in Chang'an for 20 years, and the power of the rivers and lakes is unfathomable. Ning Cangsheng has two daughters, the eldest daughter Ning Yaoyue and the youngest daughter Ning Yaoxing.

Although Ning Yaoyue just said that she was coming to see her father, Xiao Si came together, which made Ye Yunsheng wonder if the Ning family had something important to do in Chang'an.

But he would never ask.

Because he is not a man of the rivers and lakes now.

"Do you have a baby?"

"No, I don't know if it's because of previous internal injuries......

"How's the girl doing now?"

"When you see it for yourself later, you'll be amazed. ”

"She's not really going to practice swords?"

Ning Yaoyue smiled and didn't speak. The two chatted aimlessly, like friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, for the Ning family, Ye Yunsheng was a very special existence, and for Ye Yunsheng, the Ning family was like the home that had not returned for a long time, distant and close, the ancestor, the little girl, and Uncle Ning......

The memory is in my mind, I want to touch it, but I don't dare.

Gradually, he fell silent.

Until Ning Yaoyue's hand pressed on the back of his hand, and a voice like a hot spring said in his ear, "Don't blame yourself, everything you have done, we all remember it, in this world, no one can do it better than you." You are our benefactor and our family. So I don't want to see you blame yourself. ”

He exhaled softly, pursed his lips, and smiled at her, this time - at that time, he was still as young and impulsive as Xiao Si, an innocent and childish guy, and he would also play with Sister Yaoyue...... But now it's all changed.

It was only half an hour's work, and Xiao Si rushed back, didn't have time to take a sip of tea, and said to Ye Yunsheng: "I found it, these people are in a deserted temple five miles northwest of the city." ”

Ye Yunsheng asked, "Who are they?"

"Xiangtian horizontal knife Feng Jibei, mountain knife ghost Peng Guanli, one of their partners Wang Sen, and Sichuan Liumang, except for Feng Jibei who has some reputation in the rivers and lakes, the others are not in the stream. By the way, Feng Jibei broke his arm, he used to beg for a living in Wei Xian's mansion, but he was recently kicked out, and he was afraid that he wanted to make a deal when he left Chang'an, so he found Zhao Yuanwai. ”

Ning Yaoyue looked at Ye Yunsheng, "Let Xiao Si take someone to rescue the two children." ”

Ye Yunsheng shook his head, "No need...... Just lend me a sword. ”

Xiao Si hurriedly said, "Brother Ye, let me help you!"

Ye Yunsheng still inevitably touched the person in his memory, and said slowly: "My daughter, of course, I have to save myself." ”

When Xiao Si heard this, he was also caused to feel sad in the depths of his memory, and shed tears, "This is what the master said to you back then......"

"I can be 'useless in the world', but I can't let Uncle Ning look down on me, right?"

The sword is an old Tang style green steel sword, slightly shorter than the sword he hid in the cellar, he practiced swords in his early years, and used countless sword styles, so he is no stranger. borrowed a fast horse from the Ning family, and he followed Xiao Si all the way to the left side of the deserted temple.

"Brother Ye, why don't I go with you, take care of you, don't be afraid that the other party will hurt you, but I'm afraid that the sword will have no eyes and hurt the child. ”

Ye Yunsheng, who was replaced a few days ago, had already agreed, but in recent days, he has realized some truths from practicing swords, and he has killed those people in Sanmen, and his confidence has recovered. Today, Fang Zimo's affairs can't help, seeing that his brother was forced to leave home and was about to be besieged, the nine tribulations appeared in his house again, his wife was frightened, and now these people in the rivers and lakes actually tied up his A Yu......!

"Just wait for me in a moment. Suddenly, Ye Yunsheng, who was always silent and sinking in the world, changed, and with a simple six words, it was inadvertently a bloody storm!

Xiao Si made up his mind in his heart, and he would follow Ye Yunsheng no matter what.

The two dismounted and approached the forest, Xiao Si looked around, and said in some surprise: "Strange, why is the stake not there?"

"Your stake is here?"

Xiao Si waited quietly for a while, but still no one showed up, Ye Yunsheng took a breath, if there were people around, they must have heard the movement, but they could ...... quietly Unless this pile is a top master.

He's in a hurry, isn't there something wrong?

He silently walked through the overgrown and densely forested area, drawing his green steel sword and rushing into the deserted temple.

The deserted temple was empty, only the wine jar and meat and bones left on the ground.

It turned out that Peng Guanli was worried about the bad things after He Sha was driven away, and suggested that everyone change a place to hide, Feng Jibei thought that this deserted temple was arranged by He Sha after all, so in order to prevent accidents, he agreed, and the group left with two children.

The stake arranged by Xiaosi is a hairy guy, who has not yet made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes, and acquaintances call him Ah Jiang, his fist and foot kung fu are acceptable, but his light skills are not very clever. Seeing this, Ah Jiang hurriedly chased after him, but he didn't dare to get too close, so he only hung in the distance. At first, he also made the Ning family's unique mark along the road, and then encountered a fork in the road, and there was no trace of Feng Jibei and others, so he could only choose a road to chase down, chasing out two miles, Fang realized that he was chasing the wrong one, and came back and just ran into the fourth child who chose this road. When Xiao Si saw Ah Jiang, he didn't ask, he turned the horse's head directly and rushed back from the original road.

When he came out of the deserted temple, Xiao Si saw the mark left by Ah Jiang, so he chased after Ye Yunsheng and chased him to the fork in the road, because Ah Jiang didn't know whether he was going correctly, so he didn't leave a mark, Ye Yunsheng couldn't wait, and separated from Xiao Si, and chased all the way down.

Ye Yunsheng rushed to the vicinity of Sanlidi all the way, which happened to be a post pavilion, with the inscription "Huaiyuan Pavilion", and the barren grass on the side, it was difficult to see the appearance of the post road. On the other side of the pavilion was a swamp, green and rancid, and the sky was dim and ghostly. Just the scene around the post pavilion here, it is not difficult to see the loneliness of Chang'an.

The seven men in the pavilion were a little crowded, and the two children had already woken up, and at the moment they were thrown on the stone steps under the pavilion, and one of the children kept squirming, perhaps because he was bored, and one of the men stepped on the child's body with his foot, trying to tell the child not to move.

Ye Yunsheng stopped his horse thirty zhang away, his internal strength was extraordinary, although the sky was dark and gloomy, he still saw at a glance that the child was Ah Yu.

"My Ah Yu!" he cried out in his heart, a fury that could burn heaven and earth to ashes. It is difficult for someone who is not a father to experience this kind of furious anger, even a hundred times stronger than being trampled under his feet.

He pulled out his sword, inserted the scabbard around the horse's reins and inserted it into the ground, and for the first time in so many years, the bright light in his body walked unscrupulously all over his body until he reached the green steel sword, the sword was a ruthless cold and hard thing, but at this moment, he seemed to feel his anger, and under the high-frequency trembling, he let out a life-threatening sound.

Ye Yunsheng's whole person was like a sharp arrow from the string and broke through the wind. Feng Jibei sat in the innermost part of the pavilion, but he was the first to hear the sound, he didn't hear the sound of the sword for the first time, and was about to speak—how could someone be playing music here?

The six reckless old men of Chuanzhong, who stepped on Ah Yu, started from his waist, and his entire upper body had already flown out of the pavilion.

Blood poured like a basin of water, pouring it all over his face, and he couldn't open his eyes.

The eldest of the six mangs shouted the word "small", and most of the face on the top of the mouth disappeared, and from above it was a flat bowl mouth, and a ball of tongue curled up, like a worm in the bowl.

The cyan sword body did not have much brilliance, like a ghostly light that could erase things at will, from the face of the six mangs boss to the pavilion pillar on the side, without the slightest pause, it slashed across the stone pillar, circled back, and pierced into the eye socket of the last man in the six mangs. The sword-wielding man slumped down, his right leg folded, his heel pressed against his hip, his left leg stretched straight forward, his toes erected...... The green steel sword slashed straight down, with white bone fragments dyed red and black oily intestine meat, "Zheng" cut a crack in the stone ground in the pavilion, and then stabbed into the abdomen of the sixth reckless second who was drawing the knife like a violent poisonous snake.

Ye Yunsheng's squatting leg exerted force, his left leg drew a semicircle, from front to back, behind the right leg, the right leg stepped forward, becoming a lunge, the upper body turned with the crotch, turned a body, and the sword then drew a full circle, successively passing through the intestines, liver, gall bladder, stomach, spleen, and heart of the second mang. Bent his elbow and drew his sword, his internal strength gushed, and countless flesh and blood flowers erupted from the back of the sixth mang's second child, and they flew out as if they had been milked, and flew a foot away, scattered on the swamp.

Liumang Laosan and Peng Guanli were already holding knives in their hands, but they were all so frightened that their bodies froze, Feng Jibei wiped the blood on his eyes, barely opened his eyes, and saw that there were already four dead people in the pavilion, he turned around and wanted to escape, shouting in his mouth: "Brother, go away!"

As soon as the shout fell, Peng Guanli and the third child's knife-wielding hands had already flown out, and before they landed, Peng Guanli was split diagonally from his right shoulder to his left ribs, falling down like a wooden stake.

The third child was stirred twice by the sword flower, and was the only one who screamed of all the tragic deaths, rolled out of the pavilion, and pressed in the barren grass for about a zhang before dying.

Ye Yunsheng jumped to Feng Jibei's front road, stabbed with his sword, "poof" Tang Hengdao fell into the grass, Feng Jibei's only left hand trembled and pinched the sword body, but it was too late, the sword pierced his throat. He wanted to open his mouth to beg for mercy, but as soon as he opened his mouth, blood gushed out. He throbbed his back twice and slowly fell to his knees.

The wind swept by, the calf-high barren grass bent and bent, the moon slightly surfaced from the clouds, the sky had a glimmer of light, a stone pillar in the Huaiyuan Pavilion broke, and the pointed pavilion lid began to tilt slowly.

Ye Yunsheng stood with his sword in his hand, the bloodshot in his eyes gradually faded, he pulled out the green steel sword, and Feng Jibei's kneeling body was paralyzed, and his face down was covered on the wild grass.

The corner beams of Huaiyuan Pavilion had broken and began to scatter, Ye Yunsheng untied Ah Yu's body, kissed his daughter's face, and said gently: "It's okay, Dad is here, don't cry." ”

Ah Yu cried while burying his face in his chest, killing seven people, Ye Yunsheng, who had no traces of blood all over his body, had a wet chest. He gently hugged Ah Yu and grabbed Zhao Yu who was lying on the ground casually, like carrying a burden.

The pavilion collapsed completely behind him, and a puff of light sand rose up, which was blown by the wind and flew away like a cloud in the air.

Zhao Yu finally waited until the eccentric master untied the ropes, eye covers, and gag cloths, and when he looked back, he saw the collapsed pavilion and the light smoke in the distance.

"Master, teach me immortal arts!"

Ye Yunsheng didn't know what he was thinking, but slapped him on the head impatiently.

"Ah Yu, look, what is this?"

"Ah, Tiger, what a big one!"

Ah Yu showed his tiger teeth, smiled very cutely, and the tears were still on his face, so he could smile like this......

Ye Yunsheng also laughed.

It turns out that it's so enjoyable not to think about anything!
